Death notice for the town of: Claresholm, Province: Alberta
Condolences Ruth from Wayne’s Grand & Toy family. He was a great friend to many of us. We wish he had been able to live out a long retirement with you but it was not to be. We will all remember his big smile and eye twinkle when he was explaining something technical. He was so enthusiastic about life.
My deepest condolences Ruth. You are in my thoughts.

Wayne’s face would always light up when we had a conversation regarding you and the pups.
Wishing you comfort through your support from family and friends.
